Campsites are available on a first come, first served basis with limited electrical hookup. $20 per site for the weekend. Portable restrooms located onsite. There is a golf cart fee of $20 for the weekend.
We have roughly 100 spots. Campers are allowed in no earlier than Thursday morning. You are allowed a small fire at your campsite as long as it is contained and put out at the end of the night or whenever you leave the site. Dogs are allowed, but must be kept on leashes at all times and you are responsible for picking up after them.
NIHPA takes reasonable precautions for safety of all exhibits, but will not be responsible for vandalism, theft, or destruction by other means. That being said, there is security on the grounds overnight on both Friday and Saturday nights. If you have any kind of medical emergency or safety concern, please find a director and let them know immediately. You can also head to the NIHPA booth during show hours and they will inform someone.
As the show is held on County property, no alcohol is allowed on the show grounds.
If you are interested in attending our show but can’t camp, there are plenty of places nearby to stay!
